Deion Sanders addressed the media on Monday to provide insight into the health complications he faced this offseason. In the process, Sanders and his medical team revealed a battle with bladder cancer, but also confirmed the head coach is cancer-free.
It has been a wild journey for the head coach, and one that featured many twists and turns. One such turn included the head coach drafting his will, something that was revealed on a late Sunday night video release from his son, Deion Sanders Jr.
At his press conference, Sanders was asked about the process of crafting his will, and he admitted it was like he was ranking his kids all over again:
“The funny thing about that is you’re sitting up there ranking your kids again,” cracked Sanders. “Shilo deserves how much? … Like you’re really going through this stuff.”
Ultimately, Sanders said he remained positive through the entire process, despite the serious nature of the diagnosis and surgery:
“I’m always positive,” said Sanders. “I would get upset when my body doesn’t allow me to do the things I want to do… I never looked down, I’m always looking up and want to go get, because I’m trying to be the best Prime I can be for everybody.”
The good news is Sanders is in the clear, and the hope and prayer is that he’ll be in good health for the forseeable future.
